West 82 Bar And Grill

Giving a 3 mostly because of price. It is really high. Food is not too bad, but not like the best ever for these prices. Meal was about $100 before tip for what you see in the pics.Our waitress was great and provided great service. That was a plus. They seated us by the windows near the pool. That was a great view, but cold the day we were there. One customer went in and out a few times and froze us. If cold, don't sit by the windows.

This is the restaurant located inside the resort. They are struggling to get people back to work so there were some long wait times. More on the first visit than our last. I don't mind waiting but at least bring us our drinks. It makes it easy to forgive long waits with a cocktail. :oP Our first visit we had reservations and were seated pretty quick. Nice view out the windows of the river.For this night we started with some soups. The soup of the day was a creamy mushroom soup. This was pretty good, kinda sweet. The other soup, a Corn chowder was super delicious. Definitely get this. We then had a Caesar salad. It was dressed well, if not a tab over by our server but tasty.Finally we ordered the Ribeye. It was cooked well and had a nice sear. Flavors were good. Nothing spectacular but good. On our second visit I had the Crawfish etouffe. It was really good. Not a deep flavor but really good and Deb had the Plantation seafood pasta. It had lots of good seafood and a delicious, creamy sauce. I liked it but Deb was meh. Over all I was pretty impressed with the flavors of the food. Deb not so much. I think it is a solid spot if you are staying at the resort and don't want to drive anywhere. Service is ok. I am giving them the benefit of the doubt since everyone is struggling to get people off the dole and back to work. Definitely want to stop in for breakfast next time !!

The price doesn't reflect the service. The food taste great. But cheap silverware and inexperienced servers, as well as what seems to be a lack of experienced management makes this place a miss. I was never asked how I wanted my 65$ steak. They just cooked it rare. I don't like rare

Our group of 6 had to eat at a table in the bar area as it was over a two-hour wait for the dining room. Service was slow. Menu printed on copy paper. Our meals came out at four separate times, mine being the last to be served. The rest of our table had finished eating by the time my HOT DOG AND CHIPS arrived. Thank goodness the meal only cost about $6.00! The menu said the meal would include a pickle spear. I didn't get one, but I was so hungry by the time my food arrived that I didn't want to wait any longer for anything else. My waitress brought me a 2nd beer after the LONG wait. I didn't order it but I thought it might be to make up for the super long wait. Wrong. I was charged for two beers on my bill. This place missed the mark for me.

Popped in for breakfast here after an early morning of swimming with the manatees. We sat outside on the patio and soaked up the beautiful views of the pool and river. We had just swam with manatees so I had to stay on theme and order the manatee pancakes. They were so cute! We also had the omelet , which was tasty . Our server kept our glasses full while being both attentive and prompt . Docking a star because when I checked in on Yelp , there was an offer for a glass of wine . When I attempted to redeem there was a whole lot of confusion . I had to go to the front registration desk . While waiting to speak with the woman behind the desk , I overheard the guest in front of me ask for a receipt . The employee balked and questioned why he wanted a receipt . I was standing near so it was impossible for me not to hear and I thought the way the employee handled the simple request was very unprofessional. I knew then I was in for a trouble with my little Yelp offer lol. When it was my turn the employee made me feel like a big inconvenience - she exclaimed she had no clue about the Yelp offer and made several phone calls and took several pictures of my phone and acted like they were about to lose 1000 over a cheap glass of wine ! I finally was about to walk away and I guess she just saw my frustration and approved it . Had I realized at the dining table it was going to be such an ordeal I would have not brought it up . Anyways , we did redeem the Yelp offer for a glass of wine but the front desk employee needs a training class on basic customer service. As of May 2021, here's a few things to note:- The restaurant is located inside the Plantation Resort. You don't have to be a guest of the resort to dine here. -Plenty of free on site parking. -There's an indoor bar with a piano and also an outdoor tiki bar . - There's a YELP offer for a free glass of wine when you checkin on the app . Hopefully, my situation mentioned above will make it easier for you to redeem the offer:) I think we'd give this place another shot if we are ever in the area again . Can't beat the views and the cute manatee pancakes !

Only giving two stars for having a vegetarian option. Service was awful. Do not recommend.

we didn't eat in the restaurant but the Tiki Bar with more of a bar menu. Views are great and prices are fair. My wife had the Fried Scallop Basket and I had the Peel and Eat Shrimp. The scallops were well cooked not to heavy and a decent value. The shrimp were slightly overcooked and only came with 8 for a $9.00 price. We'd go back but would pass on the shrimp

We have visited this resort frequently and have found the staff and restaurant employees very helpful and courteous until Wednesday December 28. We decided to check out the outdoor tiki bar for a cocktail. We sat at the bar in front of two half eaten meals that were pushed towards the bar. The dark haired bartender ignored us numerous times and even closed out the couple next to us, looked directly at us and walked away. We decided to leave at this point and take our business elsewhere. We will certainly return for the aquatic center and indoor restaurant, but will not revisit this part of the resort.

We were staying at the Plantation Inn and it was one of those nights that we didn't feel like getting in the car to get dinner. After looking at the menu, we were pleasantly surprised by the prices. The price point was reasonable unlike many hotel/resort restaurants. We sat in the bar/grill area and were promptly greeted by our server. She was friendly and attentive.We started with the Baked Brie. The portion size is good and enough to share with maybe even 3-4. However, my husband & I managed to inhale it all on our own. For dinner, I had the Grouper Sandwich and he had the Shrimp Tacos. Both were good and nicely presented. Our server brought out a garlic-cilantro sauce for the plantain chips that was delicious! We also ordered a pitcher of Sangria and that was the only let down. It pretty much tasted like fruit punch.We also had breakfast there twice. Once, we did the buffet which was goo & plentiful. The next day we ordered a la carte. My husbands Ham Steak breakfast was huge. I chose the Waffle with Strawberries & Whipped Cream. I expected strawberries with strawberry sauce topping. But no, it's a waffle topped with a few strawberries with a side of cream and a side of maple syrup. I don't like maple syrup, so I was pretty disappointed. I ended up stealing my husband's biscuit and a piece of his ham steak. But no worries, he got my waffle. :)West 82 is a great dining option. Especially if you are staying on-site and don't feel like going anywhere.

Terrible service, WAY too expensive for the quality you get. They are a Sizzler at best. $48 for filet minion. RIP OFF! Thanks for a great Anniversary, NOT!
